Big Brown Falls Short of Triple Crown

Published June 7th, 2008

Big Brown could not find the magic that propelled him to sizeable wins in the first two jewels of the triple crown, falling all the way to last place after running in third through the backstretch. Big Brown becomes the first horse in history to finish last in the Belmont after winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Da' Tara was the longest of the long shots, going in to the race at 38 to one.
